Introduction<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Odoo POS Payment Reference<\/a> helps businesses collect additional details during Point of Sale payments. It allows users to configure payment references for different payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can enable payment references, add multiple fields, choose Text or Number as the field type, and make entries mandatory. They can also choose to display the entered references on order receipts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During checkout, cashiers enter the required details in the Payment Reference window before validating the payment. Users can also review payment records, including the date, payment method, order, employee, and amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
